I heard this today.
Rush is the best in the business.
All we had in the day was Paul Harvey, Chet Huntley and William F Buckley jr
I enjoyed Lewis Grizzard and Art Buchwald, but my mind was young then, and perhaps fogged.
Rush does bring an element of fun to the mix.
Chonchite had no fun in him.

I grew up 35 mi from Kent State.
I will never forgive the media lies and Cronkites body counts.
There are others in the business, whom I learn absolutley nothing from and with no original thoughts at all. I'm glad they're there, I think, but rarely listen to them. Rush is a must.
On the state of the human condition, I like Walter M Sterling.

Concerning the part about Cronkite, it really is disturbing in a way to think that it was just so easy for him and Dan Rather to do hit pieces on Nixon and Agnew at about this time in 1973 or 1974 (until both men were forced out of office) night after night and face very little or no challenge or questions regarding all of that.
This has nothing to do with Koppel or Rush Limbaugh.
My Father was President of a Genealogical Society that Walter Cronkite had applied to for membership. It turned out that Cronkite could not qualify because he was unable to prove his ancestry. Well, Walter was not a happy camper and my dad had to tell him that his fame as a TV personality did not qualify him either. So much for Walter Cronkite. (grin)
But I must add....his slathering all over John Glenn and his wife during the Space Program days was atrocious. Those liberal pukes stuck together like sticky rice! Glenn proved himself during the Clinton debacle and was rewarded with his last space ride. Boy, that pissed me off!
Actually, Allen Drury had the media's number when he invented the characters of Walter Dobius and Frankly Unctuous, both left-leaning newsmen with insufferable egos.
It’s amazing that the popular image of Cronkite as an objective, stalwart, trustworthy newsman has persisted to this day.
I remember him from the fifties tv show, “You are there:”
What kind of a day was it? A day like all days, filled the events that alter and illuminate our time.
Cronkite kept his politics to himself before the war. We didn’t know him any better than that.
Koppel: New York Times, Washington Post ‘decided as organizations’ that Trump is bad for United States
Totally agree..........
William F Buckley jr....was AWESOME!!!!
Love it....
I remember detesting Art Buchwald for writing columns with all the edge of warm spit. If he was conservative, I don’t remember him ever going after the left.
Started listening to him way back in 1997, during the Clinton Crime Regime.
Seems a lifetime ago already.
Great minds, and all that, you know :^)
My favorite Buckley book title is:
